Being a duo character with a tag-team playstyle, Lu and Ciel do not share mana and also have a special system known as '''Combination'''. When either Lu or Ciel is tagged out, the inactive character will rapidly recover 6 MP per second (1 MP in PvP). Lu and Ciel have a fourth resource known as the '''Combination Gauge''', which is used exclusively for Combination Skills and can only be filled when the player switches through a normal combo or a skill.

Having a duo character play-style, players have access to a special mechanic only available known as '''Switching'''. Players can play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and change between them via pressing [[File:Switching.png]] '''V''' (default key and only available where combat is possible), combos, or skills. When switching via the '''V''' key, the character switching out cannot be hit, but the character switching in can be hit and the [[Combination|combination gauge]] will not be filled. Cooldown time for '''V''' key is 1 second.

The demon monarch Lu emerges in Elrios as a small child after using up all her mana to escape the realm of demons. Due to her servant's betrayal, she has lost all her power and possessions. A hitman named Ciel finds Lu in her weak state and takes her in. Her name is all she remembers. Before long, assassins from the demon world come for Lu, and Ciel gives his life to protect her.

Just then, Lu remembers everything. A mystical contract allows her to revive Ciel as a half-demon, and he is bound to serve her in return. Now, with Ciel's help, Lu sets out to take everything back. Together, they are Luciel, a dangerous duo in pursuit of demons that plague the land.

*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''''s stats can be toggled to be either separate or unified. Their stats can both be completely independent of each other, have only '''Lu''''s stats apply to both characters, or have only '''Ciel''''s stats apply to both characters. By default, it is set to Lu only.

*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' share equipment but do not share costumes or accessories. However, you are able to share common accessories appearance with the [[Magic Wardrobe]].

***Unlike attack or defense, HP also still shares through set effects. Unlike the HP increases from other sources, this is again not displayed in the status window.

*When using Skill Rings, if their stats are set to separate, Switching Skills will always apply the ring of the character being switched to. For example, wearing a Ring of Tenacity on '''Lu''' will always increase the damage of [[Stomp]], even if you start the skill while on '''Ciel'''.

**Other sources of skill damage increase, such as through set effects or Specialization B, will apply to a skill for as long as that character is in play. Switching during the skill will change the damage to fit the current character.

*Lu/Ciel's main canon job path in Lore/Story would be the [[Innocent]] path.

*'''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' officially join the main cast after the [[9-1|Burnt Forest]] story quest [[Story/Lanox#Chapter 17: Scorched Harbingers of Darkness|'''[Dungeon] Break Through the Burnt Forest!!''']].

*Prior to joining the El Search Party, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' apparently encountered [[Raven]] several times during their journey.

**They are also the first to encounter [[Karis]] before meeting the El Search Party, being the one who killed '''Ciel''' before his contract with '''Lu'''.

*Unlike other characters, '''Lu''' and '''Ciel''' are the only characters to receive a unique skill cut-in for their 1st Job Class. This can only be obtained by advancing to their 2nd Job.

*While other characters all gain at least 2 combo extensions upon advancing to their 3rd Job Class, Lu/Ciel only receive one that simply varies slightly between Lu and Ciel, and they are not considered separate commands in the Command UI.

*Similar to [[Grand Master]], '''Lu''''s weapon is only canonically large as shown in her artwork, whereas '''Lu''''s gauntlets avatar weapon in-game is of smaller size.

*The size of '''Lu''''s gauntlets varies to different actions done. When '''Lu''' is in town or when she is performing expressions, the gauntlet shrinks down to the size of a glove. When fighting, the gauntlet expands and covers both arms.

*The shape of '''Lu's''' horns and tail will change depending on her job advancements.

**Her crown and tail will only be visible if you are wearing her promo pieces.

*Oddly, in Lu's '''Fearsome Beginner''' skill cut-in, her gauntlets have five fingers when they normally have four, as seen from her in-game model and other artworks.

**As [[Noblesse]], who regained most of her original power, she only uses them to amplify her projectiles or carry her spears with.

**As [[Diabla]], the gauntlets completely disappear in '''Madness''' state, implying her original fighting style never even used the gauntlets in the first place.

**In fact, Lu is almost always shown eating something sweet in official comics such as [[ElType Season 3/Volume_2|ElType S4 Volume 2]], the first job comic [[Together With You 1]], or [[Webcomics#Lu_&_Ciel's_Tea_Time|Lu & Ciel's Tea Time]].

*The side story [[Story/Side Story/LuCiel|'''Nightmare 3''']] shows '''Lu''''s allegiance in the Demon World.

**After meeting with the '''[[Demon King]]''', '''Lu''' agreed to stand under him as one of the 4 Great Demon Lords.

**She stood beside the three other Demon Lords, '''[[Berngart]]''', '''[[Stirbargen]]''', and '''[[Aegirp]]''' and held the title of "Steel Queen"

*The side story [[Story/Side Story/LuCiel|'''Nightmare 4''']] tells us the identity of who restrained '''Lu'''.

**She was betrayed by a Demon General called [[Barkat]], who chained and tortured her.

*According to the Korean tooltip of [[Demonio]]'s [[Transcendence (Demonio)|Transcendence]] skill, '''Lu''' is implied to be of Asmodian origin.

*While in the story '''Lu''' is the least affected by the lack of El energy upon entering the '''Demon Realm''', she still takes the full effects of the Demon Realm debuff during gameplay and needs to stack Adaptation like the rest of the cast to mitigate its effects.

**He even stated in his and Lu's prologue that her cuteness and small figure attract him.

*Ciel's grenades from >>^ZX are considered skill damage by the scabbards in [[10-6|Solace's Fortress]]. This might indicate that Ciel's grenades were originally designed as a skill.

**For [[Royal Guard]], his hair changes into a brighter blue hue as he uses the least demonic energy. [[Dreadlord]]'s hair turns almost white while retaining some dark blue as he progresses much more into the demon conversion. [[Demonio]]'s hair turns completely white and sprouts a horn as he progresses the most into the demon conversion.

*** Upon advancing to [[Catastrophe]] Ciel's hair become completely white but is not strained by his contract with Lu like [[Demonio]] which is why he doesn't grow any horn.

*The webcomic [[Company: Lu & Ciel's Tea Time 4|'''Lu & Ciel's Tea Time 4''']] reveals that '''Ciel''' has a deceased sister named [[Terre]].

**It is also revealed that [[Wolvernian|Verni]] met '''Ciel''' on the anniversary of one of his friend's death. He believed that taking in '''Ciel''' would be a second chance for him to redeem himself.

**Just as '''Ciel''' acted as a second chance for [[Wolvernian|Verni]] to redeem himself, '''Ciel''' saw '''Lu''' as his second chance to protect and fulfill the promises he made to [[Terre]].

**Learning of [[Wolvernian|Verni]]'s death, '''Ciel''' snapped and was set back on the path he would take to become a hitman.
